To be fair, although Kate does play as an American, she does get described as a freshman from England. Her family still lives in London and her dad owns a business here. I think she is a dual-national but not 100% sure on that.

I was surprised you said she played at No 5. Texas must be down to the bare bones. Ill have to check where Texas have submitted her in the line up when theyre available again but I don't think she's in the first 6 singles line-up in a fully fit Texas and she only played doubles for the first time for Texas this weekend.

 Something was on my X feed about her win on 3 sets to secure the match win, saying she played at 5

The format is 3 doubles matches of 1 set each played simultaneously. When one team has won 2 of those sets the third is abandoned if still in play. The team that gets 2 doubles sets gets 1 team point.
They then play 6 singles matches simultaneously each one worth 1 team point. When a team gets 4 team points, including the doubles point if they won it, then all remaining matches in play are stopped.
In non-tournament play the 2 head coaches can agree to play the remaining matches to a finish if they want to but not in NCAAs.

It's basically that they're playing for the team, not themselves.

Abigail Wild has her first head coach job, being named as Head Coach of New Mexico State women's tennis.

She has been assistant coach at Tarleton State since graduating a couple of years ago where she helped the team to their first NCAA qualification ever this year.

I know not a name many will recognise but always worth celebrating a first, and I'm interested in Brits in coaching jobs as well as the players.
